   Hi all,

   I'm trying to display the contents of a custom field with auto p tags if the content field has been added. So far I have this but it doesn't work, can anyone help with what I'm doing wrong please?

   <?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'credits', true) ) : ?>
           <aside class="credits">
             <?php echo apply_filters('the_content', $credits); ?>
           </aside>
           <?php endif; ?>

   Try it with this [untested]:
   

   <?php
   $credits = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'credits', true);
   if ($credits != ''  ) : ?>
           <aside class="credits">
             <?php echo apply_filters('the_content', $credits); ?>
           </aside>
           <?php endif; ?>

   Ignore the above, I got myself in a pickle. The code below works ok.

   <?php if( $credits = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'credits', true) ): ?>
           <aside class="credits">
             <?php echo apply_filters('the_content', $credits); ?>
           </aside>
   <?php endif; ?>
